Shah Rukh on Aryan’s sense of humor
During the event, Shah Rukh shared that he had passed down his humor and storytelling skills to Aryan. He stated, “I just want to thank all the colleagues I have who participated in the series. They have done so well. I watched a few episodes of the series. It’s extremely funny. I love funny things. Mere jokes pe log bura maan jaate hain, takleef ho jaati hai. Maine jokes karna chod diya. Maine ye virasat apne bete ko de diya. Maine kaha jaa beta, baap ka naam raushan kar.” (People often take offense to my jokes, so I have stopped making them. I have passed this legacy to my son Aryan and told him, ‘Go make your father proud’).
